Sarnia Quilters Guild Donate to Women’s Interval Home

The Sarnia Quilters Guild recently held their tri-annual Quilt Show at Redeemer Christian Reformed Church on Blackwell Side Road. Guild Members Loraine Shaw and Suzanne Michaud have organized a Mini Quilt Draw during this and the previous three Quilt Shows with the funds raised donated to organizations within the community. Members create and donate miniature quilts which are raffled off during the Show. This year thirty six mini quilts were donated. The draw raised $1150 for the Women’s Interval Home.

Also during the opening of the Quilt Show on Thursday evening, Guild members were asked to bring toiletries to make a basket for the Women’s Interval Home and numerous baskets were filled.

Sarnia Quilters Guild members have also made 218 Comfort Quilts during the past year to donate to community organizations. Of these, 11 lap quilts were donated to the Women’s Interval Home.

Karen Hunter, Executive director of the Women’s Interval Home accepted a cheque for $1150 along with 11 lap quilts and several baskets of toiletries from Suzanne Michaud of the Sarnia Quilters Guild.
